Question of the Day: What Was the Last App You Paid For?

I would likely be shocked to see just how much I have spent inside of Google Play, whether it is on apps, games, movies, or whatever, but I’m sure the amount is quite substantial. You can head into Google Play and check out all of your recent activity, however, you would have to do the math yourself and add up all of your expenses to come to a total. Who has time for that nonsense? Instead, we want to know what your last app purchase was. Was it a standalone utility app? Game? Maybe even a $0.99 in-app purchase?

As for me, the last app I purchased was the Chrooma Keyboard. So far, I love it. I asked Kellen what app was his last purchase, and his was also Chrooma. I guess that means you should go check that keyboard out.

Rewun Icon Pack is last that i bought, but best purchase of all time was Nova Launcher Prime few years back.

Eli Shirk

The most recent app I purchase is Join from legendary developer João Dias. I did pay for it using credits from Google Opinion Rewards, which is also what I used to pay for last month’s GPM All Access family subscription.

Dan Snook

Textra Pro. I wish google would buy them and make it the stock messaging app.

enaybee

EX Kernel Manager

MattBoan

Last two purchases: Crashlands and the newest Sherlock special, The Abominable Bride.

Vrykolas

‘Crashlands’ and ‘Subterfuge’ games (both are amazing, but very different games). Like others, I use Google Opinion Rewards (on Android) to pay for all my apps/games.

Opinion rewards money, but Textra. Was literally the only app that would send and receive 1MB picture messages on Cyanogenmod (Verizon G2). They were limited to like 36KB otherwise. Turned out to be a fantastic SMS app. Still using it on 6P.

TheZiltoid

Immaterialis Icon Pack was my last purchase.

person

App, as distinct from game, not a clue. It’s been ages, if ever. The last game was Minecraft Story Mode for 99c a few weeks ago preceded by Lara Croft Go.

I recently upgraded and renewed my Invoice2go subscription. Cost me $50, and that was 1/2 price! But, to me, it’s well worth it. Prior to that I paid for the pro version of Textra and I couldn’t be happier.

Mine was downwell, but I think I’m about to check out chrooma because I don’t like the SwiftKey news

Ernie Manning

finally went ahead and paid for the pro version of Plume. (Google rewards)

DJyoSNOW

Package disabler pro

KellyDehn

Life Reminders. Best reminder app I’ve ever used.

Carlos Reyes

Most of the SNK games.

senor_heisenberg

Chroma Keyboard. Bought it after reading the article on here.

steelew

Same here with opinion rewards, I bought “pulsar music player pro” (worth it) and “easy copy +” (also worth it)

arthur2142

LG G3 TweaksBox key

drublin

Falcon Pro

hal sandick

Runtastic pro

Hold3n

SKRWT is the last app I paid for
(technically Chroma keyboard but I returned it so didn’t get charged)

Safa

ES File Explorer Pro. I also have used Google rewards for a long while now. I’ll let it get up to $10 or so then find something to buy.

Rick_Diesel

Fenix

Grayson

Just a few days ago I purchased a 1 year sub for Adguard. $10. Not in the Play Store because it blocks ads. Good solution if you want ad blocking but don’t want to root. It even allows you to whitelist websites you want to support and create your own rules.

Butane87

My biggest gripe about chrooma is it’s inability to predict the next word.

GawkerRedesignSucks

Nova Launcher Prime. That was a loooong time ago. I refuse to buy apps unless they are absolutely vital to my mobile existence.

Sean Bello

Easily the best paid app on the market

John Smith

Weather Timeline – Forecast – by Sam Ruston

Marc

Got a shield tv for Xmas and dumped a bunch of my opinion rewards on a handful of games. If you want more surveys turn location/gps on. I got three surveys today.

Rob Fetterhoff

Crashlands but I don’t pay for my apps out of pocket. I get enough in the Google Rewards App. That’s the best app available! I get one or two a day.

Textra Pro Upgrade was my last purchase because I wanted to try something a little more modern looking than Handcent, but I think I still prefer how the popups work in Handcent and I may switch back.

Ty

I purchased a few tasker plugins just yesterday. But I did so with the over $60 of google opinion rewards ive earned in the last year.

ShadowCodeGaming

PocketCasts

Wolfie410

The Room Three. Was (not so) patiently waiting on that one.

BRWill

How does Chrooma handles multi-language support?

Dustin Mingo

Very well, it’s basically colorful, customizable Google Keyboard

Suicide_Note

It was either Chrooma keyboard or Thomas Was Alone.

kerrhome

Touchdown email

Michael Quinlan

Adguard lifetime subscription. If you think that doesn’t count because it’s a subscription (even though it’s a one-time payment), then FX Explorer Plus.

Cory

Nine for Exchange. If you need corporate e-mail on your phone, this app has been a godsend.

Raven

Ditto.

Charlie

i bought Touchdown for my OG D1. since Symantec bought them out, the updates have been few and far between. but, i tried Nine for a while, and just didn’t like it as much. maybe after all these years i’m just too accustomed to TD, but it still works the best for me.

I absolutely love Nine, great support and they even have a Tasker plugin (although very limited functionality)

Nobby

Pocket Casts

trwb

Digital Clock Widget Xperia. Looks sweet.

burkett375

Automate

N8

This War of Mine. Best game available on google play.

Mark

FiSwitch for me.

a_ale_z

RadarScope. $9.99

JasonWhite

The Room 3! Worth every penny that Google Opinion Rewards has given me!

David

BoFiS

Well I’ve been buying the maps inside LandRule, but if you mean an app I paid for, vs. IAP, I’d have to go with Business Calendar 2 Pro since I wanted to support developer, even though I had previously bought the first version and all features carried over. That and now I only have to have the new one installed 😀

krubby

I bought a Droid Turbo 2 from Verizon and they were nice enough to load it with all kinds of apps, if I wanted them or not. She’s that count? (Smile…).

Actually most you could delete or at least disable. Still same thing Verizon is known for but still a great phone.

Real answer is Timely Pro. Love the app. Not sure it was worth it just to get some more themes (they have a free version) but I liked the app so much I wanted to support them a little bit.

I tried it for about a month. Ending going back to my Tasker profile that works better/faster/more efficiently but i liked the idea

Dan

I’ve been using Agent, but this seems much better. Thanks!

JSo

Chrooma was the last for me as well.

datkidpatrick

not my last purchase, but a great file explorer.

The Room Three….. FTW
But I have so much Google Play Money from doing their surveys…. That I can’t spend IT ALL!!

Bradley Melnyk

Chrooma

Brian Diaz

Chrooma keyboard as well…i love this app

dshizzel

Crooma Keyboard.

Adrian

Cinema FV-5

Helen Read

Solar.web Pro, for monitoring my rooftop solar installation. The free version is fine, but I wanted to support it. I use both the free and pro versions, which have slightly different features.

Jon Parker

Bubble UPnP. Along with Showbox HD and Mobdro, it’s indispensable for Chromecast owners. (but I used Opinion Reward credit). Thanks to DL I haven’t “paid” for an app for years.

Sopapilla

Star wars pinball, when it was 10¢.

Daryl Henson

Chrooma. Before that, The Room Three.

Curtx2

The Room 3

Chrooma purchased just this morning

Voyageur

Smash Hit (premium) back in 2014.

Bigwavedave25

BusyBox Pro (Stericson)
Yeah, I know, an oldie. Been using the free version for so long. He has well earned that small fee all the times it has allowed Viper4A to work properly on my devices. Gotta have that premium sound!

Looks like Manual Camera will be my next purchase. Went from an LGG2 to N6P and I really miss having macro mode focus control over the camera. That LGG2 had a wonderful camera.

T_Dizzle

BusyBox Pro here too. Supporting the dev as well.

Michael Valdez

Plague, Inc.

I’m genuinely not sure. I think it might be Today (which, incidentally I’ve just stopped using due to not tying into Now on Tap so well).

i haven’t paid for an app since you guys turned me onto Google Opinion Rewards. Now, that’s all i use to “pay” for apps.

that being said, Google bought Chrooma keyboard for me. 🙂

gabe1989

idk if it is just me but about 3+ months ago my google opinion rewards surveys dropped off. i get maybe one survey a month now. maybe it is more popular and the surveys get spread out more or they have enough data on me already. hmm.

Jared K

You have location history on your account turned on? There doesn’t seem to be many third-parties doing surveys and its mostly Google just checking location data for me.

gabe1989

yes, i have location history on and i also have location set to high accuracy (wifi, gps, and network based).

Allyn K C

If anything, the surveys have become more frequent for me. Several per week – sometimes multiple in a single day.

Most of them are just checking location info, but maybe every other week I’ll get something more.

Croq

I used to get them regularly too – haven’t really gotten another since August 2015. Wish I knew how to get it going again.

Rob Fetterhoff

Keep your GPS on. It will start back up.

Croq

Weird – out of the blue, I got a new survey just this morning (last one was on November 1, 2015 and before that September 19, and prior to September 19, I got them regularly)! 53 cents added! I hope this means they’ll start popping up again…

Spinach Chin

It’s strange – I went through a period where I thought that there was something wrong with my Rewards account. I almost never got them.

Now for the last 6 months or so, I’ve been getting two per day, reliably. I’ve gotten four in a day more than once.

gabe1989

that is how it used to be for me. racked up $25 in rewards over 18 months and then it just fell off for some reason.

michael arazan

Same here. I get 27 surveys in November and haven’t had one since.

gabe1989

something is up. i’m close to zeroing out my rewards balance. i need more moneys.

Rory W

Same here for Opinion Rewards. Last app I “purchased” was Runtastic Pro

Droid Ronin

+1 for Google-funded Chrooma 🙂

arthur2142

Same here! I used my Opinion Rewards for the LG G3 TweaksBox key.

btw, I’m up to $84.75 in rewards from Google, dating back to November 2013!

ja7lewis

This. Google just bought me the pro version of textra.

arthur2142

I also used Google funds for Textra. I love all of the customizations in Textra… Finally got me to move away from GoSMS, which always drove me crazy!

Justin

Add another for Chrooma Keyboard, compliments of Google. Before that: Plants vs. Zombies. Yes I know they have a free version. I didn’t want IAP’s.

I use it to pay my Google Play/Youtube Red sub. Everyday it asks me where I visited, and it covers the $10 a month. Lol.

Liquidretro

Good idea, not sure I get enough survey to pay for YT red at $10 a month. At $5 I would for sure.

Spinach Chin

Got over $30 in my account right now, and I get at least 2 surveys a day.

DominickFord

Yep same here. I love rewards and I used the rewards to purchase chrooma.

Danny R.

they said they’d get back to me more than a year ago…

bnm27

The Room Three, up until I just bought Chrooma since you mentioned it 😐

Who cares anyway

The last app I bought was Doom 3 BFG Edition to use on my new Nvidia Tablet K1.

On a separate note that is one amazing poster you have in the background.

Infinite loop. It’s a great game. And I have so much money towards Google Play from Google Opinions that I never think twice about buying.. plus I’m an adult and $2 doesn’t mean $h!t

James Thomas

The Room 3

New_Guy

Ditto

Jack Bauer

Mine was Chrooma Keyboard but like most of my purchases, I used my Google Rewards. Was even able to purchase “The Survivor” by Vince Flynn awhile back because of all the Rewards I had. Can’t remember the last time I used my own actual $$ in the Play Store.

Lol.. Sorry man but the truth hurts. I only like the color changing between apps feature

Sean Bello

Even worse, I checked it out and it’s basically the Google keyboard apk with color changing added. Why is there even a long press duration option if you can’t long press letters for punctuation/symbols?

By selling the color changing option as a theme (more expensive than normal themes perhaps?).

Xious

Chrooma would be mine. I am not afraid of purchasing apps, so I probably buy apps quite often just to either try them out or to support the developer. I always laugh at those people who cry because an app is $0.99.

Eric

Gaufrer Icon Pack. I’m addicted to hot icons

Wes Nile

Relay for Reddit (pro)

BCoils

Likewise.

toonz333

i use baconreader… should i make the switch?

Droid Ronin

I used to use BaconReader…and Relay is far more fluid with a more pleasing UI.

romma

Pocket Cast. The best there is. Way too many other ones that drove me crazy.
